You're Looking Fabulous Today!

Lately, I've been thinking about how there are so many different types of pretty.If you look, you can find something beautiful in everyone.I'm a big people watcher, it is one of my favorite things to do.I also LOVE to compliment, i never feel stupid approaching a stranger and telling them i like their dress/ they have gorgeous hair or i just LOVE those shoes!I was at Yankee stadium a few weeks ago and the girl in front of me was wearing a gorgeous lacy dress. Might sound fancy but it was casual enough for daytime.I didn't think twice before asking where she bought it and telling her she looked great in it.She smiled, I'm sure it made her day (or at least her hour).I smiled, because i love seeing the joy that even a little, if superficial, compliment can give.

Men prefer brief praise, pitched high; women are satisfied with praise in a lower key, just so it goes on and on.~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook

I'm going to make it my goal to give at least 3 genuine compliments a day.

Oh I think I would love you in real life! Compliments people are so great and here's why:Plenty of people [this is me] think up compliments, and like someone's shoes or hair or face and don't say anything. But to be told that you look especially nice? How good does that feel!And I bet it feels good to you, too, right?
